This comprehensive reference provides proven design procedures for the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for reinforcement, prestressing, and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The characteristics of FRP composite materials as well as the latest manufacturing techniques are discussed. Detailed illustrations and tables, design equations, end-of-chapter problems, and real-world case studies are included in this authoritative resource.

Analysis and Design of FRP Reinforced...

This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it examines not only the resistance to lateral forces but also analyses the disastrous influence of vertical components.

The work is written for Practicing Civil, Structural, and Mechanical...

An Original Source of Expressions and Tools for the Design of Concrete Elements with Eurocode

Seismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized standard. Eurocode 8 was introduced recently in the 30 countries belonging to CEN, as part of the suite of Structural Eurocodes, and it represents the first European Standard for seismic design. It is also having an impact on seismic design standards in countries outside Europe and will be applied there for the design of important facilities.

On a multimillion-dollar construction project, even a small increase in productivity can yield millions of dollars in additional profit--as well as a safer and more efficient work environment. Yet many engineering and construction firms overlook analysis tools that would help improve productivity. This book focuses exclusively on investigation and analysis techniques that support the implementation of productivity improvement programs. It addresses productivity improvement from both engineering and construction perspectives and provides detailed case studies that illustrate the...

As structural engineers move further into the age of digital computation and rely more heavily on computers to solve problems, it remains paramount that they understand the basic mathematics and engineering principles used. Analysis of complex structural systems involves knowledge of math, science, engineering and technology to design and develop environmentally and economically efficient buildings and other structures. The link between the basic concepts and real-world applications is one of the most challenging learning endeavors that structural engineers face. The primary purpose of...

Thoroughly revised to address sustainability and the latest codes and regulations, Infrastructure Planning, Engineering and Economics, Second Edition, describes the full range of skills necessary to plan, implement, upgrade, and maintain infrastructure projects in the public sector.

This comprehensive work discusses planning methodologies and best practices, and features global case studies, research projects, and references to the literature to support the principles presented. The text has been streamlined and updated...

Die Finite-Elemente-Methode wird in dieser Einfuhrung in ihrer Komplexitat auf eindimensionale Elemente heruntergebrochen. Somit bleibt die mathematische Beschreibung weitgehend einfach und uberschaubar.

Das Augenmerk liegt in jedem Kapitel auf der Erlauterung der Methode und deren Verstandnis. Der Leser lernt, die Annahmen und Ableitungen bei verschiedenen physikalischen Problemstellungen in der Strukturmechanik zu verstehen und Moglichkeiten und Grenzen der Methode der Finiten Elemente kritisch zu beurteilen.

Diese Herangehensweise ermoglicht das methodische Verstandnis...

Prepared by the Design Loads on Structures during Construction Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Design loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading and for the variability of temporary loads. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. Design Loads on Structures during Construction, ASCE/SEI 37-14, describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load...

Prepared by the Design of Steel Transmission Towers Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

This standard provides requirements for the design, fabrication, and testing of members and connections for latticed steel electrical transmission structures. Covering guyed and self-supporting structures, these requirements are applicable to hot-rolled and cold-formed steel shapes. The standard specifies the design criteria for structure components--members, connections, and guys--to resist design-factored loads at...

Sponsored by the Technical Council on Forensic Engineering and the Technical Council on Wind Engineering of ASCE

After a hurricane or tropical storm strikes, civil engineers are often called upon to investigate the resulting damage to structures. One of the common assignments is to distinguish between wind damage and water damage. This task can be complex, requiring expertise in structural engineering, historic building codes, construction practices, wind forces, and water/wave forces, as well as familiarity with meteorology. The engineer may be asked to provide a rational estimate...
